Another meeting with my bishop later today, to find out what happens (do I stay in this parish or move) after Easter. I am really hoping, one way or the other, it will be clear and not ambiguous, so that I can make plans.

The grace of God. His purpose for my life. Whether or not I'm supposed to go back to work or sell everything and move into my Suburban and start working with the homeless, or maybe get my passport and fly off to some foreign mission field. But basically just being grateful that whatever happens, its all in His capable hands.

"TRUTH IN ME " by Robert Drake

I have no desire to fit in.

No plans to walk with the crowd.

I have my own mind, heart and soul.

I am me

and it has taken me years to realize how important that is.

I get to work 6 days in a row! Woohoo!
I laughed at this, because for the last seven years or so I've been working six days a week; and today I'm starting a stretch of working four days a week, and am really looking forward to it. I hope you keep enjoying your work!

Well ... how did the meeting go with the bishop go? Was it clear and unambiguous or was it church beadledom (I had to look it up myself:scratch:)?

Staying put or going elsewhere?

Staying put, for now. A potential move in the future heavily foreshadowed, though. I think the overall tenor of the conversation boils down to, "Deal with this list of things promptly, so that the parish will be in a good state to hand over by mid-next year."

Of course, I can't tell the parish that, and they're a bit disgruntled at some of the instructions coming from the bishop, so it's going to be interesting times.
